The ISRCTN register has been operational for the past 8 years and is approaching 10,000 trial records. It complies with international guidelines and pools its data in the International Trial Search Portal initiated by the World Health Organisation. Through its ongoing collaboration with the Department of Health in England, the register has been able to participate in a national initiative aiming to bring clinical trials to the attention of a wider public with the objective of maximising participation. As part of BioMed Central, the register provides the first step in the concept of threaded publications, enabling the tracking of clinical research studies from inception and the linking of all resulting publications including the raw data where this is available.
ISRCTN 注册处已经运行了 8 年,目前正在接近 10000 项试验记录。它符合国际准则,并在世界卫生组织发起的国际试验检索门户中汇集其数据。通过与英格兰卫生部的持续合作,该注册处能够参与一项旨在使更广泛的公众了解临床试验的国家倡议,目的是最大限度地提高参与度。作为 Biomed Central 的一部分,该注册处提供了串联出版物概念的第一步,使临床研究从一开始就可以进行跟踪,并将所有相关出版物(包括可用的原始数据)链接起来。
